jforetoorb The VOX COLLEGII welcomes DR. AND MRS. OSBORNE The Vox Collegii takes pleasure in dedicating this number to Dr. and Mrs. Osborne who are completing their first year at OLC, a successful and significant year, and, we feel confident, an earnest of many more to come. The College is certainly fortunate that, when the inevitable time came for us to bid a reluctant farewell to Dr. and Mrs. Carscallen, the Board of Directors knew where to look for capable successors to such exacting posts. Nowhere surely could they have found a more versatile Principal than Dr. Osborne. Already a man of wide experience as a minister, musician, and director of young people ' s work, on coming to the College he demonstrated at once that he is also a competent organizer, business administrator, farmer, and teacher. Like Roman Cato he first studies each new task minutely, then goes about its execution with confidence and despatch. In atnaz- ingly short order he has mastered every angle of the work, and there is no doubt that he ivill soon have won a fine reputation in the field of education, far beyond the bounds of OLC. Charming ' and gracious were the advance reports of Mrs. Osborne and she has surely fulfilled them. Better still, we have found that the qualities so described are by no means superficial, but spring from a ivarmly friendly nature. The girls feel that she really is their friend, that she sees and understands their point of view, which is perhaps not surprising as she is so close to being a girl herself. There is no doubt that Dr. and Mrs. Osborne have a busy life ahead at OLC. The Vox Collegii hopes that it will also be a happy one. Muriel H. Sissons Page Three

etritorial Graduation is over, and you, the graduates, leave the shelter of this school to face an unknown future. For some, you hope to begin a career immediately, or enter university, for others there is still time left to think . . . but one and all, you have a place to fill in this distorted world of today. That place is vacant, and is calling you; but the preparation, co-operation and hard work that goes with it, is not easy. But some time in the future we must and will see a peaceful world. That ' s easy, you say, meaning easy for you to leave it to the next person. After all, there are many billions of people, but again, billions of these people need you. Then don ' t shirk your responsibility by this attitude. There are countless occupations, and careers which may be followed. For in the rebuilding of the war-ridden countries, disease, malnutrition and perpetual fear rule supreme. Our gen- eration is responsible for the outcome of events in the years to follow. We cannot depend upon our friends across the seas, whose physical health is undermined, and whose minds are instilled with the worst of political poison. Building a better tomorrow lies with us, who have enjoyed the better things of life. When you leave your Alma Mater, turn towards the future, your future and the world ' s. Have knowledge of present condi- tions, and prepare yourself to take an active part to fill that vacancy, and unite in setting us on the road to normality and happiness. Good luck to all in the coming year. P. J. A. Page Five
